About This Home
As of July 2025What a grand, beautiful three story row home in the heart of Fairmount! This house is full of traditional charm and detail. Enter thru the original double doors into a marble lined vestibule. Super high ceilings with recessed lighting to show off the original hardwood floors, large windows and a beautiful marble mantle piece. The living room is large enough to section off into different entertaining areas. On to the dining room and into the kitchen which features stainless steel appliances and an abundance of cabinet space with room for two or three high stools at the counter for your morning coffee. Southern light flows through the french doors which lead out to a huge fenced in rear yard. This yard is waiting for the new owner with a green thumb to transform it into a flower and vegetable garden. On your way upstairs you will find 5 largely sized bedrooms and second full bathroom; all full of natural light from the beautiful windows. The third floor offers a door to the roof which is perfect for a potential roof deck to enjoy the incredible views of Center City. Close to everything Fairmount has to offer in coffee shops and restaurants. A few blocks and you can be on the subway on your way to work.
